Abstract
A system and associated methods for improving the management of an individual's health is provided. The system includes a data measurement mechanism generating information relevant to a particular health condition, a data acquisition mechanism for transferring the information to a storage medium, at least one data analysis mechanism generating insights relevant to a particular health condition and an information presentation mechanism for displaying the insights to a patient, caregiver or physician.
Claims13
A system to improve the management of an individual's health, the system including:
- a) a data measurement mechanism generating data relevant to a particular health condition;
- b) a data acquisition mechanism transferring the data relevant to a particular health condition from the data measurement mechanism to a storage medium;
- c) at least one data analysis mechanism generating insights relevant to a particular health condition wherein the data analysis mechanism performs at least one analysis selected from the group of:
- population comparison, multi-variate analysis, attribute data analysis, and reliability engineering analysis;
- and
- d) an information presentation mechanism displaying the insights relevant to the particular health condition.
A system to improve the management of an individual's health, the system including:
- a) a data measurement mechanism generating data relevant to a particular health condition;
- b) at least one data acquisition mechanism transferring the data relevant to a particular health condition from the data measurement mechanism to a storage medium wherein the at least one data acquisition mechanism is selected from the group:
- a tablet PC, voice recognition, and telemetry based systems;
- c) at least one data analysis mechanism generating insights relevant to a particular health condition;
- and
- d) an information presentation mechanism displaying the insights relevant to the particular health condition.
A system to improve the management of an individual's health, the system including:
- a) a data measurement mechanism generating data relevant to a particular health condition;
- b) at least one data acquisition mechanism transferring the data relevant to a particular health condition from the data measurement mechanism to a storage medium;
- c) at least one data analysis mechanism generating insights relevant to a particular health condition;
- and
- d) an information presentation mechanism displaying the insights relevant to the particular health condition, wherein the at least one information presentation mechanism is selected from the group:
- a graphical summary screen, an icon based summary screen, a help guide, an anthropomorphic help guide, and synthesized speech.
A method for improving the health of an individual including the steps of:
- a) selecting at least one health parameter appropriate for the particular individual based on the individual's medical condition and medical history, current or recent health event(s) of interest, age and/or demographics, or any other health parameter of interest to the individual, caregiver, or medical professional;
- b) measuring the at least one health parameter of interest and pertinent environmental or qualitative information to produce data;
- c) acquiring the data for storage and subsequent analysis;
- d) analyzing the data via at least one data analysis mechanism to define out-of-control situations requiring intervention, potential causes or remedies wherein the data analysis mechanism performs at least one analysis selected from the group of:
- population comparison, multi-variate analysis, attribute data analysis, and reliability engineering analysis;
- e) presenting the information to the individual, caregiver, or medical professional.
A system for managing the health of a tympanic membrane of an individual, the system comprising a data acquisition mechanism including an image capture device for capturing a digital image of the tympanic membrane.
